New Mexico owes more than it owns.

New Mexico's Taxpayer Burden™ is -$8,500, and it received a "D" from TIA.

New Mexico is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt.

Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped.

TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.

New Mexico only has $14.3 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $19.5 billion.

Because New Mexico doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a -$5.2 billion financial hole. To fill it, each New Mexico taxpayer would have to send -$8,500 to the state.

New Mexico's reported net position is understated by $1.6 billion, largely because the state delays recognizing gains resulting from decreases in retirement liabilities.

The state's financial report was released 365 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard.
